Work hour Flexibility; but my job is only secure because I was billable at that time.. and they are paying only my salary not any internet charge or extra pay
Regardless of background or skill they will assign you to any domain .it is for freshers... And the promotion politics..
It's chill , not so much pressure from higher management

Hikes are very less. Getting promotion is too hard even if we give 100%

Cognizant has hybrid work model, which is good for employees.
Cognizant bench policy is bad, they give less days to get yourself into a project. Also salary hike is low.

We are getting good Learning platforms like Udemy , Cognizant Learn to enhance our skillset.
They are changing Promotion Criteria when promotion Cycle comes near so less people are getting promoted due to that criteria.

After Ravi Kumar took over as CEO there is nothing left to like about Cognizant anymore.
Not respecting their junior employees, no proper HR communication, not giving promotions on time etc...

Good work life balance, Growth of the employee also very good
Those who are in bench more than 50 days, HRs will contact employee and putting pressure on employe to forcefully resign. But they give 5 months full salary for the employees. After resignation

It's about the connectivity to the city,the office habitat culture and the work space it's quite good which creates a good place to work.
In terms of work life balance cognizant doesn't do anything it's only depends on your client and in cognizant benching is the factor which makes your job in non securable here.

Here the job stability is equal to 0. And the standards for this company is very poor. I will never recommend this company to anyone. There is politics in everything such as promotion, salary hike , Ratings etc.

I don't like working in this company. I just don't have any other options left.
What's there not to dislike. Biggest issue is that there's no HR to raise ur concerns to. All they have is a portal and that too just for show.

It may vary project to project and management to management. My previous project experience is very bad due to the management only. My current project , client and management is quite good.
There is no skip level meeting happens and I found HRs are already teamed up with the management.

Good working culture among similar service based company. CTC is straight forward almost like a product based company where fixed component is more and variable component is less Good team and good development projects compared to support projects in other companies Good work life balance
Hikes and promotion are not good. Recent policy changes are not employee friendly Golden days of Cognizant over once Francisco D’Souza tenure as CEO ended

Job security is good. Visibility to top management
It is like any other top MNC culture wise but the management is chaotic especially in the project i am working. There are too many people following up on work and too less people handling the work

Many employees have said that cognizant offers a variety of great benefits. As an employee, you get full medical coverage, full dental coverage, full vision coverage, and decent paid time off. benefits are a good way for business to take care of their employees and boost morale. This is important because if a company's employees are taken care of the employees will take care of the company.

The job role is fine.
Work culture is not good at all all, full of toxicity and politics. I was a fresher and my first experience is not good. I would never refer someone to work here atleast not a fresher.

Well it's a very good place to loose your mind and and peace. With the best 10 hours work culture and no benefits. And the best thing is the ratings they give depends on their personal choice and mood and the best part is once the rating is given it cannot be disputed. And unexpected promotions which will be given to others. Eg if A works hard B will get the promotion. Based on favouritism.
Hmmm. .... Everything. There is no help nor there is any support all are busy with their targets and targets and targets.

Not a good transport facility service. Job security is also not there. Very short term projects. In most of the projects, the case is like one person has to do job of 3 people. If there is requirement of 3 people then they will assign all those task to single person. In terms of hike, even if we work harder and show our appreciations still they will say budget issue. No proper growth here. One common thing in all IT sector is that you will be valuable only if there is some work. If not then no one really cares. You are on your own. So be ready for anything guys.. be prepared always to crack interviews at any time....Read More

Work culture is excellent. Mixed culture makes it really good work environment. Free hand in New Projects for getting new profile.
Salary as per industry standards is less, Increment as per previous followups has not been great. But favouritism plays it's part.
